Yes, the host can invite any team it likes for the host spots.

If Katia and Harley want to do JGP series, like Anna Duskova and Martin Bidar last season, because of WS points etc., that's different story. It surely wouldn't hurt them. But I thought they wanted to turn fully senior, and can anyone remember a JWC who didn't get a GP assignment in last years? Parsons hopefully will get a host pick from SA, which will be a second GP. Aleksandrovskaya/Windsor can't count on that...

Maybe they will get an invite from France or Japan?

Well, I can hope
And I do realize that lists change literally 10 times sometimes, because of splits, injuries etc., so they still have chances, but it's not nice to be kept in uncertainity for long... (you know, visas and other things that need to be taken care of beforenhand)
This year's announcement has not come out yet. But in the previous announcement, it only says that JWC medals (and JGPF winner) will only be "included in the selection process." But says nothing about guaranteed spots. Seems that rule went away in recent years

There can't be both Yuzuru and Shoma at the same event, since both had finished in top three at Worlds. And NHK went with Yuzuru...

Maybe they have decided to leave her in Juniors after all. I don't know what the point of that is, but that's the Fed for you.

For at least the past few years, the ISU has said:
Medalists from the ISU World Junior Figure Skating Championships and the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final gold medalists are guaranteed one spot.
The language has been in an annual ISU news release before the GP season starts. The document for the 2016-17 season is here:
[I am not claiming to be an expert, but over the years, I have posted this link (or an analogous one from previous seasons) umpteen times because the question keeps coming up.]
USFS is not "sending" anyone to Skate Canada International.
Skate Canada chose Karen and Ashley for its GP.
It's possible that federations attempt to do some behind-the-scenes lobbying/negotiating, but ultimately the host federation makes the choices for its GP.

I'm glad to see Tsurskaya in 2 events. Hope she's well and recovered.

Yes IdF, Ice deficiency Fixing, j'espère!
No more ice surfaces with rivers in them, one can only hope.

Methinks the only fixing the French federation will be doing is the judging.
And yay! My Czech pair babies got two spots!
Hope they get their Olympic spot at Nebelhorn!Sui & Han have back to back assignments but both are in Asia, so it's not that big a deal. In fact, with the exception of Worlds, all their events next year (including the GPF) will be in Asia. Everything is falling into place for an Olympic gold, I hope.
In terms of competition over each event: pairs, men, and women are exciting while ice dance is kind of a snooze with the exception of Rostelecom... will BoboSol magically start scoring way better?
Nice to have this come out, but I have to admit it's kind of a tease to release this so early.
The series is still 4.5 months away!Edited to add: Realized GRANDMA LEONOVA GOT 2 SPOTS!
She proves your career isn't over even in Russia when you get 9 points worth of neutral deductions in a free skate. #Leonova4PyeongChang
